Overwrite @3156

[baael]

Since last update (or few last updates), Sublime goes crazy and randomly is turning on overwrite mode (insert). It happens mostly when I am using search or find and replace, but also randomly. I’ve changed keyboard to new one, keyboard bindings (removed all overwrite shortcuts), removed and reinstalled ST, removed all plugins, nothing helps. It was a problem few years ago too. It makes it unusable.
Strange thing - it is sometimes turning on overwrite mode, when I change it back - cursor is normal again, but overwrite mode isn’t off. I have to close and reopen file or restart sublime sometimes, cause it happens on all opened tabs.
I have feeling that overwrite mode problems everytime they seem fixed then are returning every few builds.

windows 10, ST build 3156

maybe you have Vintage mode enabled or something? can you show a screenshot of your entire ST window when overwrite mode is enabled?

My bindings:

{ “keys”: [“ctrl+delete”], “command”: “run_macro_file”, “args”: {“file”: “res://Packages/Default/Delete Line.sublime-macro”} },
{ “keys”: [“ctrl+shift+k”], “command”: “run_macro_file”, “args”: {“file”: “res://Packages/Default/Delete Line.sublime-macro”} }
]

My settings:

But!!!
You are right, I had to copy “ignored_packages”: [“Vintage”] into my user settings, and it seems it solved my problem.

yeah, the COMMAND MODE in the status bar is a giveaway
